Ellen was born in Ireland and emigrated to Australia. A family story says her mother died on the ship during the voyage. She met and married her husband, George, in Australia. The wedding license lists George as a miner in New Zealand and Ellen as a servant in Melbourne.

They had two sons in Australia, then set out for British Columbia, Canada. They stopped in California for Margaret to be born. They then continued to British Columbia, arriving about 1876, where two more sons were born.
